As I said, the thing is up and running.  So I know the PS is OK and
the MB has not been zapped.  And the machine started this AM with
absolutely no fiddling--only the passage of time with no power to the
unit.

My focus now is on the intrusion detection system.  The pins are
jumpered and always have been.  Suppose the jumper contacts are noisy
or the circuit that is designed to detect and record an intrusion is
faulty.  I do not know how the system is designed to react to an
intrusion event.  My only observation is that occasionally (sometimes
every few days, other times it will go a month or more between events)
I get a message at boot and a halt.  It always is corrected by a
shutdown and power up sequence. (I do not understand how this behavior
would protect anybody who wants to implement the feature.)  So I
wonder if when the machine refused to start the intrusion system was
involved in some way.  Ideas?  (I still want to replace the battery,
but am a little gun-shy.)
